TensorFlow TPU Tutorial

TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) is a specialized ASIC designed by Google to accelerate machine learning workloads. It provides high-performance computing capabilities for training and inference tasks, making it ideal for large-scale TensorFlow models.

Key Benefits of Using TPU

• Accelerated Training: TPU's matrix operations optimize TensorFlow computations, reducing training time significantly
• Lower Latency: Efficient memory architecture improves data throughput for real-time applications
• Scalable Architecture: Supports distributed training across multiple devices
• Energy Efficiency: Consumes less power compared to GPUs for similar performance levels

Getting Started with TPU

1. Enable TPU Service in Google Cloud Platform
2. Install TensorFlow with TPU support:

   pip install tensorflow
   

3. Use TPU in your code with the following example:

   import tensorflow as tf
   strategy = tf.distribute.TPUStrategy()
   with strategy.scope():
       model = tf.keras.Sequential([...])
